This place was a gem. Great vegan diner food and the staff were timely, friendly and attentive. I had a walnut burger that was smashed just the right amount and they gave me more than plenty of fries. My partner had the tofu scramble breakfast which was great too. I tried a bite of her biscuit and that was enough to make me want to come back next time I'm in Milwaukee! read more

I've been back and I have to say the service really is fantastic. They've switched back to standard table service and ours was so patient and accommodating. Made us feel so welcome and not rushed. The food has improved as well, tons of flavor and great portions. I ordered the brisket benedict this time and it did not disappoint. The only reason this isn't five stars is because another person at our table ordered the Reuben and the corned beef was so tough and had a bunch of tendons that they couldn't bite through it. Their fries were great though! I look forward to coming back again when visiting the area. read more

This is such a cute place to get brunch. The food was delicious and I would definitely come back! Highly recommend the chicken and waffles and if you're vegan, you'll find a lot of options read more

Delicious Bloody Mary and breakfast burrito! We showed up at noon on a Sunday. It was pretty busy, but got a table within 5 minutes. The food did take awhile to come out, but there was a big group of people who got there shortly before us, so I'm assuming that's why it took so long. The server didn't check in on us while we waited for food so we had empty drinks for a pretty long time. read more

I came here for lunch with nine of my sisters/cousins/aunt/mom. We were starving after spending the morning doing some crafts nearby. We were worried that they might not be able to accomodate all of us, but we were super okay if they split us up into two tables, which they had to end up doing. We sat in their second dining room which ended up being perfect. It wasn't too crowded and the place has a cool ambiance. It's vintage and has that diner feel but maintains its modern effects especially with the Riverwest neighborhood. I ordered a bloody mary which was amazing!! I can be pretty particular when it comes to my bloody's but this was the perfect flavor, spiciness, and the garnishes were super fun. As I said before I was super hungry so I got their dream burger with fries. It was a patty with tomato, onion, lettuce, and cheese. When it came out my eyes popped out of my head cause holy cow was that thing HUGE! I could only eat half of it and I took the rest to-go. It was super juicy and flavorful. The fries were crispy and perfectly salty, it was hard to stop eating them. We also ordered french toast for the table which was just as delicious. It was made with some sort of sourdough bread so it was nice and fluffy. There was a raspberry compote that made it nice and refreshing, and a sweet cinnamon butter to tie it all together. If I came in for breakfast this would be the perfect sweet meal to order. Our server was super nice and attentive, and made sure to check on us when needed and refilled our drinks if we asked. We were in and out pretty fast. Overall it was a great place and I would definitely come again for breakfast! read more

For my first time at Wonderland Diner, I had a pretty good experience. It would be more like 3.5 stars, but that's not an option, so I'll round up. Our server seemed less than enthused to be waiting on us, but it didn't hamper the experience too much. For a Friday evening, I was surprised to see it rather empty. Nonetheless, the decor was cozy yet eclectic and the playlist was relaxing. For beverages, my dining companion ordered a Diet Coke -- not much to comment on there. I went with an iced tea, but something was off about it. It tasted almost dirty in a way that's hard to explain. No amount of lemon helped, and I couldn't stomach more than a couple sips. I'd skip it, if I were you. My dining companion opted for an order of six wings with the Creole Dry Rub and Buttermilk Aioli, along with a basket of fries. The wings were fall-off-the-bone tender and the rub was flavorful. The French fries were a little bland, but nothing some table salt couldn't fix. I went with the Tuscan Chicken Mac and was blown away. The chicken was tender and well-seasoned, the spinach and cherry tomatoes added some color and texture, and the mac n cheese itself was delightfully gooey and creamy. The portion size is massive and I took home about half of it. I'd order it again in a heartbeat. Our bill came out to a little over $50, including tip. Seems maybe a tad pricey, but you'll be finding similar prices at any casual sit-down restaurant these days. I plan on making another stop to Wonderland Diner in the future -- maybe brunch? read more

Overall, our experience at wonderland was positive. We arrived early for dinner on a Friday night to enjoy their Friday night fish fry. The catch of the Day was bluegill, but we opted to get the cod fry. The cod was perfectly crispy with a thin yet crunchy batter. The fish was cooked to perfection and flaky. Super impressed by the fish. The potato pancake was tasty, but quite thick- not typical to what I'm used to with a potato pancake, but nonetheless very tasty. It can with homemade applesauce which I wanted a jar of. Unfortunately, my least favorite part of the fish fry was the coleslaw. It was advertised as a poppy seed, pineapple coleslaw and I didn't really get any hint of pineapple. I felt that it was a little bland compared to the deliciousness of the other items. But I also tend to go with a creamier version of coleslaw. We ordered the chili and the clam chowder to come before the meal. I would consider the chili to be quite smokey, almost as if they used a smokey tomato. It was good, but very thick. The clam chowder was also very thick. I'm typically used to a thinner type of soup, but it was extremely flavorful. Overall, my experience was great. I would gladly go again and try a lot of the other. Really wonderful menu items listed that are unique and seem to be home-cooked! This place had a really unique decor inside. It was bright and friendly looking. Our server was also very attentive. I wouldn't say she went above and beyond explaining options or dishes, but we also didn't inquire about anything overly difficult. read more

The breakfast sandwich is sooo good-highly recommend adding on the sausage patty. The bloody was also great, and had really good fixings!

This was my second time at Wonderland. Last time, I got the vegan (tofu) wings to complement the pizza at Art Bar, which was delicious, but was drawn back for the pot pie. My partner got the Friday fish fry, which had an awesome apple cabbage slaw, but the fish portion was small. I was a bit underwhelmed by the pot pie, which was too soupy and had an abnormal flavor. I would only go for specific items. read more

We stopped in for breakfast after a round of golf at Lincoln Park. The breakfast sandwich here is amazing. The eggs in general are just really good. They are fluffy and flavorful. My homemade biscuit fell apart a bit while eating but it was delicious. I tacked on the pulled ham to the sandwich which was good. My boyfriend's breakfast included a couple sausage patties that we both loved. We definitely agreed we would be back. The space is bright and colorful, comfortable chairs. Service was good, no one hovering over you all the time. 10/10, Will come back. read more

This is my favorite restaurant in Milwaukee. I love the decor, the servers, especially Kevin are all so friendly and kind offering prompt and welcoming service. They are all knowledgeable about the menu providing good recommendations. I love their Friday fish fry but my favorite meal is their tenderloin panini with their fries and buttermilk aioli. I also really like their Mac and cheese and skillet brunch options. It's a great spot because they have a lot of vegetarian options as well so I can go with my friends who have different dining preferences than I do too! read more

Have visited a few times. Always good food and attentive servers. A good solid choice for a weekend lunch.

The only reason for two stars is the fried chicken that I ordered was horrible and inedible. The other two people that I was with had ordered something else that was okay. Chicken was burnt, dry, and cooked to the point of being desiccated, too hard to heat, I'd never seen anything that bad and they shouldn't have plated and served it. The only reason I didn't complain, and ended up taking the food home, which I ended up throwing away, was that our daughter (from out of town) was with us and I didn't want to ruin our time with negative vibes at our dinner table. I will not be going back there based on this one and only experience at this restaurant. I'd have to say that the service and physical setting in the restaurant itself were good. read more

I just don't know. However, we do want to come and try the fried chicken on Saturday and Sunday. Our server was great ! read more

Made a last minute decision to visit Wonderland Diner and did not look what to expect. The food was delicious, portions were bigger than expected, and the people were kind. I had the shroom burger and my bf had the fish fry he was surprised at the amount of perch that came on the plate. It was quieter when we showed up but by the time we left they were buzzing with customers. Great spot for a nice meal where you won't be left hungry! read more

Great diner feel inside with the clanging plates, delicious aromas and sweet servers' smiles! The Bloody Mary is citrus-laced spicy ecstasy, and I wish I wouldn't have shared the divine breakfast bread with everyone. Next time we will each get our own! The eggs were perfectly to order and they let you butter your own toast, which I love! But in addition to traditional diner morning fare, there are awesome vegan and gluten free options like the beet tofu scramble and lentil sausage. We loved every bite! read more

Such a cute diner! All their menu items are available as vegan/vegetarians, so a great place to come with your friends if there's a mix of dietary preferences/requirements. Came for a Saturday brunch and had no wait. I got the chicken & waffles which, after trying everyone elses dish, is arguably the best dish on the menu (*if you eat meat). Super crispy breaded chicken, waffles were soft and fluffy. I'm not sure what was in the gravy but it was very hearty. Some fried jalepenos & onion jam to make it a lil more ~fancy~. I was starving when I got there and ordered with my eyes, aka I added some hash browns, which were very crispy and I think cheesy???. I ended up taking half of it all home and eating the rest for dinner! I also tried the Monte Cristo which was very large. The sandwiches don't come with fries/chips/hashbrowns. Street parking. Decently priced. read more

I love this little diner! Situated conveniently right next door to Art Bar (in fact, the same owners as Art Bar), Wonderland Diner serves up delicious diner food in an adorably classic diner environment. We stopped by for dinner on a Sunday evening and were able to be seated straight away. Due to their proximity and association with Art Bar, they share Art Bar's cocktail and beer menu. Due to this lucky arrangement, I was able to begin my experience with a negroni. It was basic, big, and tasty. For my dinner, I got the veggie polenta which was absolute cozy comfort food. It was perfect for a cold winter's evening. The service was lovely, and loved at the end of our meal we were able to take our cocktails right on over to Art Bar to continue our evening. Get to it! read more

Overall a very cute breakfast spot and particularly lovely to have no wait on a Sunday morning! This was kind of a last minute addition to our weekend plans but we popped in for breakfast Sunday morning and were glad we did. Service was friendly and attentive. My food, the corned beef hash, was very good. My boyfriend's food, the chilaquiles, were only ok and were kind of a small portion for this particular dish. I appreciate they have really flexible menu options for dietary needs too, including gluten free and vegan options. I wouldn't necessarily consider this a "must go" but I think it's a great neighborhood spot and I'm glad I went. If you're in the area and looking for a solid breakfast option, go for it! read more

Really comfortable place. Our group liked the eclectic feel- and with the conjoined Art Bar we were pretty excited to partake in happy hour. The drinks were delicious and did make us happy. Our group didn't know what to order- beginning with their apps menu- so we ordered all that were available. Disappointed that they were out of Brussel sprouts (was the definite chosen app)- but with the recent snowfall, it's understandable when deliveries don't happen.... Our group of 4 loved our waiter- hip and relaxed...let us linger, laughed with us and was absolutely enjoyable. We loved the (chicken) wonderwings and chose the Godzilla sauce. Spinach artichoke- yum, yup! Tempura veggies- were also a hit. Crispy, nice cuts of veggies. Love! Deviled eggs - daily 3 diff flavors...we enjoyed two more than the third- but I couldn't tell you what they were (sorry). Creamy and tasty. While eating- the fresh desserts were being cut and boxed... so of course, had to partake in those. Pineapple cream cheese pie, coconut pie, and mixed berry crumble- (selections change daily). We were full and satisfied. Overall- we would all come back... and will look forward to some of the dinner items (who knows - maybe we'll order all those next time) read more

Wonderland has become my preferred go to for good eats in the Riverwest area where we reside. We typically sit out front and order up the goods while chilling with our pooch. Between the service and the food along with being reasonably priced you just can't go wrong. Brunch or dinner the food is on point. My favorite item hands down is the chicken and waffles. On Saturday morning especially in the winter I'll come here with the pooch after shoveling the drive and sit in Art Bar. You can setup shop here and order food direct from Wonderland while chilling with your pooch. Gets no better than that. As long as Wonderland keeps handling their business like they've been, we'll keep coming back! read more

This place is on the other side of town for me, so I wouldn't normally travel this far for a restaurant, but it's Vegan Dining Week in Milwaukee and all my vegan friends said this place was terrific, so we made the trip. They were right! Lots of vegan things on their menu so we had the nice problem of picking something out, which usually doesn't happen with other restaurants who only have 1 or 2 options on a menu, if that. The seasonal risotto with asparagus and oyster mushrooms was delicious. The vegan mac n'cheese was very good. I especially liked the hearty tofu wings appetizer with garden mayo. That was practically a meal in itself! Including one beverage, the bill it was $60 for two people. Friendly service, meal delivered in a normal amount of time, nice atmosphere, people all around enjoying themselves, families, friends -- all around great place for a vegan to have a satisfying, delicious meal. read more

I would like to preface this review by saying that the food is great! However, the service lately has been, shall we say, prickly. I have been coming here as part of a weekly social event for the past few years, as it was nearby. We usually go as a group of 4-8, sitting in the large room in the back.y favorite items to order are the Wally Bowl and Tofu Wings. To be honest, every item I've ordered has been wonderful (no pun intended). The ambiance is cute and kind of quirky, a perfect reflection of the neighborhood. Starting early this year, the main server whom we have had for years has lately shown reluctance in seating a large group without a reservations, even though there is no requirement. In the event more people show up (for example, 8 people instead of 5), she would complain about serving us, citing lack of tables. There has never been a lack of tables, as we usually arrive between 6:45-7pm. Today, she flat out refused to seat our group, so we left for another restaurant. Needless to say, Wonderland has lost a loyal group of patrons. read more

They had special food items on different days of the week. We were there on their burger war day and they had a couple interesting burgers to choose from. The waiter was able to answer questions very patiently. We had the sweet and spicy pork burger, which they said contained fried pineapple. It was surprisingly very good, the buns were toasted and crunchy, not the soft kind you'd expect from any other burger, and the right mix of spicy and sweetness really hit the spot. Too bad it wasn't on the regular menu, 'cause the tenderloin panini was rather average. It's also connected to the art bar next door, so probably a nice hang out spot for locals as well. read more

Yes, it says diner in the name, but make no mistake: this is no run of the mill diner food - this is elevated comfort food served in a hip, relaxed setting. The menu is extensive and serves creative fare for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Everything on the menu is interesting and you really can't go wrong. On our visit we got the Corned Beef Hash which was amazing: the corned beef was tender and flavorful and the tiger sauce took it to another level. The chilaquiles were also a hit. Will be coming back to try the lunch and dinner options. They have a Tuesday Burger-wars featuring two specialty burgers that face off against each other with the winner returning on Wednesday and then squares off against another burger the following Tuesday. Art Bar is connected next door and is full of amazing local art, hosts live music and you can eat from the menu at Wonderland there which is cool. All in all a great spot to eat and drink around the clock! read more
